When clicking on album name from the album page the art seems to take up far too much space or is it just me? Appreciate the whole page can be zoomed in & out but need to still read the details & edit them. I think the art could be at least half the size allowing for more details to be shown on the page without using the scroll bars. Perhaps if the art was even shown smaller on the page but then on clicking the art it zoomed in for anyone wanting to see the finer details of it!

The quality of the linked release are pretty uneven on some of my albums, yes I can unlink the ones I don't like/want and keep the release I find useful. But a (maybe a two state button) simpler way would be much appreciated !

Great software, a bit slow on my synology NAS but usable, a plus would be to have an overall progression bar : I guess you have some sort of a queue in Bliss, which could be rendered next to the "Scanned X of Y albums" and why not a ETA indicator ?

The docs say that Bliss shouldn't need more than 256MB. That may be so but I found very substantial performance increases by going to 512MB. I'm a new user but from what I read I believe that my speed at 512MB is probably "normal' - i.e., I was starved at 256MB. This may just be for my own environment.

I'd like to be able to change the name of the existing artwork file as well as create an optimized version. For example, I'd like to have it take the original "cover.jpg", rename it as "cover (original).jpg", and then make the optimized version "cover.jpg". Since I'm also embedding artwork, the current backup option isn't ideal, since I don't need backups of the artwork for every file; I just want to rename the original file as well as give a name to the optimized version in a directory.

As there is a search option already on this page would it be possible to implement an " if found replace with box" to allow a user to type in a whole or part of a tag search but then implement the change. Hence if a tag requires to be changed on mass then it would save a lot of typing.
Perhaps have a global "replace all option" as well as a safer method of skipping through one at a time so if you have over looked something then you have an option to skip this incidence & skip to the next find.

It would be useful to be able to filter and differentiate albums that are only compliant by 'accident' - Ones that it hasn't been possible to find a 'linked release' as the tags are incomplete or invalid. By default, these are marked as compliant. It might also be useful to be able to filter on linked releases that only have a low confidence factor.

The idea behind this is a simple way to stop the service mid scan to enable any number of things to take place. Currently having to navigate to the package & stop the service. Perform various things then restart the service. Just a nice quicker way to do this

I've noticed that some albums that have passed bliss compliance checks have failed to display artwork in my car (2014 Audi A3 with MMI). When I've checked the embedded artwork, the culprits always have a high value for the dpi - eg 300dpi. Artwork at 72 or 96dpi displays correctly.

Can a check on dpi be done as part of the compliance check, even if it's not possible to automatically correct it?

I'm validating Bliss's artwork and metadata suggestions and I've just gotten to the second 96-album page of the album list. Unlike the first 96-album page, I can't always move from the current to the next album: the buttons that let me move backward and forward in the album list sometimes disappear, leaving only the "Back to album list" button. This slows my validation considerably because I need to navigate to each album rather than simply clicking a button to move to it.
Here's how to reproduce the problem:
* Navigate to the second page of the album list.
* Click on an album name to view the artwork, metadata, and tracks.
* Click on the Edit button beside the artwork's dimensions to view the alternative artworks.
* Click on the album name at the top of the window to return to the artwork/metadata/tracks view.
* You'll notice that the backward and forward buttons are missing.
I hope you can adress this bug in the next release of Bliss.
Thanks,
John

When editing tags manually and assume bliss is already doing something to that file then you get a pop up message stating "failed to update tag" However the pop up box does not clear and so you have to come out of tags and back in. Re-select to show the tags that are wanting to be edited again e.g. in this case Genre.. Then continue down the list to find where you were. Skip that album & continue....... somewhat annoying ... Any way of identifying a locked file ? say temp recolour back ground to red so you know not to attempt to alter its tag ? Or just flash the back ground to red then back to normal. Great if the pop up would clear after 2 seconds.

As been mentioned perhaps before an ability to clear certain tags would be good. Especially when starting with a jumbled messy collection.

Not least as an addition to the settings page have a setting that allows a comment to be set as standard for the comment tag. Allow a radio button/sub control to state append or overwrite or clear current comment tag. So when found Bliss will append or overwrite or clears any current comment that is within the comment tag. Gets rid of or tidies the comment tag.

When missing art is found as non compliance, and you are viewing albums , by clicking on the empty thumb nail this immediately takesyou to the page where you can search for missing art.

/coverart?startAt=0&page=.*&albumsCount=96&complianceState=noncompliant%253AGroupedMissingArtAssessment

This would save on repeated navigating through the menues to get to the websearch function..
Just an idea

After library analysis according my rules I got the result:
Artwork Too large - 278; Incorrect image format-156; but I already explicit put the rules previously so why do I have to go one by one to make clicks to do this actions. I bought bliss for batch and massive actions over a big, probably huge music collection. If I have to make it effective one by one it's a complete waste of time! Probably it's good to be presented like it was but then it should have the option to make it effective! If I'm seeing it wrongly or not seeing how it can be done currently then I apologize. kind regards, Antonio
